Crossing the River with Dogs: Problem Solving for College Students, 2nd Edition

Crossing the River with Dogs: Problem Solving for College
Students, 2nd edition promotes
the philosophy that students learn best by working in groups and
the skills required for real workplace problem solving are those
skills of collaboration. The text aims to improve students’
writing, oral communication, and collaboration skills while
teaching mathematical problem-solving
strategies. Focusing entirely on
problem solving and using issues relevant to college students
for examples, the authors continue their approach of
explaining classic as well as non-traditional strategies through
dialogs among fictitious students. This text is appropriate
for a problem solving, quantitative reasoning, liberal arts
mathematics, mathematics for elementary teachers, or developmental
mathematics course.
